Home Forums Introduction Welcome to Elevator Trader Local #1 New York City

Yea, I'm surprised it was set for a Sunday too. It works for me though. I don't have to take a day off from work or anything.

Very lucky. Is it still in the morning? My test date is set for 8 am.

No updates anyone?

Yea, mine was at 10am yesterday. It was pretty easy. I feel really good about getting better than a 70. The tool assessment was a joke. That was an easy 20 points on the interview.

Pretty easy, took the exam on Friday and they said we should have our results in 1-2 weeks.

I might have messed up one on the tool exam.

Besides that interviews are the week of jan 22 - jan 29 based on alphabetical ordwr

I took mine yesterday. It was ok.

Not hard but not easy. The mechanical part was a bit confusing to me.

I'm hope I did well enough for a 70. Sounds like we'll get emails on whether we passed or fail by January

I passed the exam fellas, hope you guys did as well. Email mentioned that I would get another email for the time and date for my interview no later than Jan 5.

Congrats Nvirb!! I wish you the best of luck!

Unfortunately, I failed the exam. I hope only the best for the rest of you and good luck on the interview !

Sorry to hear that MAJOR, maybe you can try applying to a different trade. But thanks for the support! I'll do my best.

Check your email guys. I just got my interview date.

Yea, I got my interview for the 25th. You?

Mine is the next day on the 26th. Good luck!

I passed, my interview is on the 25th as well.

Any one have any tips, or ideas on what to brush up on for the interview besides the basic S.(situation)T(task).A(action).R(result) questions

Fingers crossed.

Looks like the interviews were scheduled by Last name, hopefully we get the list numbers during the week of Feb 5th like the Interviewer said.

Supposedly 1000 people being interviewed for 100 (maybe 200) apprenticeship spots. That’s super competitive.

Something else I noticed- the 2015 apprenticeship announcement said they expect to hire 50 apprentices and on the local 1 website, they are up to list #189 as of today. This should give an idea of how many numbers they go through on the list for every expected hire.

I passed the test and I interview on the 24th as well. Seems like they hired 189 guys of the last list so if it goes the same this year even if you don’t rank high you still might get called.

How do you feel about your interviews? I wasn’t really prepared for those questions but I think I did ok. Was very nervous, and felt like I cornered in by 2 detectives rather then being on a interview. Such a small room actually was glad to get out of there in 20 mins

I felt the same way Brother. Even though I correctly guessed what 4 outta the 7 questions were I still felt nervous, especially since i was in the tiny room, and they take notes right infront of you. They kicked me out in 20 mins as well. Hope I did well.

I'm sure everyone felt that way to some extent. Hopefully we find out our list number within the next 2 weeks and that will let us know how we really did.

Does anyone know how many people passed the test ? I highly doubt they are interviewing 1000 people
